Doctor Who 50th Anniversary box set.

[Gingerbread Demon]

I just got the box set of the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary set and it contains

The Name Of The Doctor
The Time Of The Doctor
The Day Of The Doctor

Which order are these to be watched and are they at the end of series 7 or before that?

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Name, Day, Time. Name is at the end of series 7, Day is in between series, and Time is the Christmas special.

 

[Tosk]

Don't forget to watch Night of The Doctor too.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

Don't forget to watch Night of The Doctor too.

I won't. It's also got the movie about the creation of Doctor Who

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Don't miss Afternoon Of The Doctor, Midsummers Eve Of The Doctor and Weekend At The Doctors.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Weekend At The Doctors.

That's the one where his companions prop up The Doctor's post-regeneration body for partying and financial purposes, right?

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

If you want the complete anniversary experience, also watch The Five(ish) Doctors and An Adventure in Time & Space

Sounds about right

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Sounds about right

I so want to see this episode.

OH gods no....................

I watched the Fiveish Doctors once of channel internet and felt it was rather droll.

An Adventure In Time And Space was great. I love how the initial idea of the TARDIS came to be out of a bit of rage. Just brilliant.

How is that a bad thing?

 

[The Wormhole]

The Five-ish Doctors was easily the best part of the 50th anniversary. Just the bit with John Barrowman and his "family" alone was pure gold.

I come completely agree. An Adventure in Time and Space and The Night of the Doctor are up there, too, but The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot felt like the best celebration of the show with those who were involved. All three are much better than Name, Day, and Time and I say that as one of the few unapologetic defenders of Day.

 

[Emperor-Tiberius]

Yeah, The FIve-ish Doctors and Night of the Doctor, by a mile. Day is great, but its not really a 50th anniversary special, is it (if they'd included McGann, at least...)?

Arguably, we might be getting the real 50th anniversary special, this Christmas. Strange, that.

 

[Professor Zoom]

You don't need to watch Time of the Doctor. Just read the wiki article. It will take 5 minutes and be just as enjoyable

 

[Emperor-Tiberius]

I might be one of the very few that actually enjoys, nay, even loves Time of the Doctor. Its the quintessential Moffat fairytale.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

Yeah but Day Of The Doctor annoyed me with the shitty Zygon sideplot.

 

[The Wormhole]

While I get the criticism about Time of the Doctor, I can honestly say I still enjoy watching it a hell of a lot more than Day of the Doctor.

 

[Emperor-Tiberius]

Day is frustrating to me, because it could've been so much better, so easily.

* No John Hurt, bring back Paul McGann (despite the former being my favorite British actor of all time).
* Retain the 90 minute runtime that Moffat intended, but...
* ... remove the opening "Doctor hanging from the TARDIS" in the beginning. What was up with that?
* Bring the old Doctors back to record new lines for the Save Gallifrey sequence.
* Bring William Russell as Ian back for two scenes, one with Clara at the beginning, one with the Doctor at the end, before his "I dream" bit. He's the original companion, dang it!
* Convince Eccleston, somehow, to do a regeneration scene for a minisode. I mean, come on!

As it is, it is better than Time, but I do enjoy the latter more because I didn't expect it to be as good as Day.

And to round up the trilogy, Name should've been a two-parter, plain and simple.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

What about the bit with the Zygons, keep it or dump it?
